A band that found opportunity when there was little of it is featured in a documentary that misses its opportunity to tell a truly great story about the band.

Simple Plan said they’d do anything, and that includes a documentary for their fans. But aside from being fan service, this is surface level and, well, simple.

This doc is like a speed-run through 25 years in the changing face of music and its marketing, with Simple Plan staying remarkably consistent within it.

Despite being a fan of the band, there is little substance to it. They basically skip over having to kick 2 members out over allegations, no mention of the impact of and why you see people dressed as Scooby Doo at shows today. You learn very little and nothing really stands out.
